You need to do something like below:

<script type="text/ecmascript">

ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(updateUserField, "sp.js");

function updateUserField(){
    var ctx = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
    var list = ctx.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('ListA');
    var item = list.getItemById(1);

    var assignedToVal = new SP.FieldUserValue();
    assignedToVal.set_lookupId(1);   //specify User Id 
    item.set_item("UserField",assignedToVal);
    item.update();

    ctx.executeQueryAsync(
        function() {
            console.log('Updated');
        },
        function(sender,args) {
            console.log('An error occurred:' + args.get_message());
        }
    );
}
</script>
